Dear MVSD Community,

As measles cases continue to rise in the US, with a fifth case reported this week in Washington state, we are urging parents and caregivers to make sure their children (and themselves) are protected from the disease by getting two doses of the Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) vaccine.

Families can check their immunization records online at MyIRmobile.com, or by speaking with their clinic to make sure they’re fully protected. If exposed to measles, any unimmunized adult or child will need to stay home and isolate for 21 days, from last known exposure. MMR Immunization works and is our opportunity to protect our community's health and limit this potential major disruption to family routines.

School Nurse Annelisa or our local clinics, Family Health Centers and Confluence, are available for questions or help finding a vaccine.
